My professional path in design and architecture has involved working across many scales: light fabrication as a furniture craftsman, small retail design projects, as well as multifaceted, large-scale healthcare and academic work. Until recently, I was engaged in full-time on-site construction administration at the 440,000 sf University of Virginia Hospital Expansion and am currently coordinating CA efforts for George Mason University's upcoming 219,000 sf Horizon Hall mixed-use academic building. I also explore the adoption of VR, AR, and iOs mobile technologies into regular construction administration and client review workflows as a Perkins&Will Washington DC Design Technology Leader.
